Also up for passage will be a resolution granting a retroactive budget increase to Citilink. If the State Government accepts this resolution, it will restore $518,339 in funds. While this will cut a projected operating deficit for this year by over 60 percent, it will still leave a $300,000+ deficit due to rising fuel costs. There is still a possiblity the state will not grant the request, but throwing this lifeline to Citilink only to refuse it wouldn’t make much sense. Below is a link to the resolution. I will have more on Exhibits A and B which are referenced in the resolution later today.Â
Resolution No. R-08-06-04 (word doc)
